We have all heard the wonderful childhood story of Sleeping Beauty. It has all the elements of a wonderful love story… beautiful princess, handsome prince, and a kiss… a kiss that awakens the princess from a very long sleep into a fairytale life of love and belonging. We, as baptized Christians, have a very real story of love and belonging. Ours is a story of salvation. When we were brought to the waters of baptism, we were kissed. St. Bernard of Clairvaux, abbott and theologian, calls that moment of Baptism, God’s kiss. We were empowered by the Holy Spirit, welcomed into the family, forgiven, and given our true identity to live in the fullness of life, gifted and anointed with a purpose and plan (Jer. 29:11). Our Father wants to reawaken those who have been asleep, and encourage those that are in need of further encouragement to live in the abundant life (John 3:16) God calls us to, empowered with full authority and responsibility, knowing our true identity is in Him and Him alone. I look forward to celebrating the Father’s love together.

Come and here how to be reawaken by Our Father!
